The service defines a major difference between officer and enlisted man for good reason. Enlisted men who do understand the bigger picture (ie a concept called the strategic objective) may become officers. Even Powell and Shinseki (I believe) rose through the ranks this way because they could grasp and categorize these larger perspectives. They could see the bigger picture. Clearly neither lookout123 nor Urbane Guerrilla can.
This is what i was talking about. tw has a misconception about what the divide between officer and enlisted is all about. but he continues to throw this little gem out when discussing military/political issues with people who were enlisted. apparently he thinks it gets under their skin or something. unfortunately it is just evidence of his unwillingness to try a new concept or learn anything because people have tried to explain career paths and rank structure to him. eh, whatever. can't expect much from a little muppet. he does make a nice little pet though.
